Very rare 1971 Karmann Ghia

Before I start describing this beautiful Karmann Ghia, let me just say that of all the cars I ever owned including a great 911 Porsche 4S, this Karmann Ghia has been the most fun drive I ever owned. Every time I take it out on the road, I get at least 5 people shouting "great car" or giving me thumbs up or just commenting on the car when I am parking it. It seems everyone have their own Karmann Ghia story, used to own one or knows someone who did. What I'm trying to say, this car turns heads and gets a lot of very cool attention.

The car runs great and could become your daily drive. I used it about once a week when I go to play golf. It has a really good mpg mileage - I am always surprised how little gas this consumes. All the controls on the dashboard work except for the clock. Radio and CD work well. Engine runs great. Comes with a fire extinguisher. The car has minor rust in a few places, pretty much what you'd expect of a car that's over 40 years old. I have recently had a new layer of undercoat done to protect the car from rusting, also it has new breaks. The odometer stopped working, currently shows 31,368 miles.

I invite you to contact me with regards to any questions you may have about this auction. Also, if I missed any angle on the photos, please let me know and I will take additional pictures.

Winning bidder has 24 hours to send $500 through Paypal and seven days to pay the balance - cash or cashier's check accepted.

The car is based on Maui in Hawaii. The winning bidder will need to arrange their own shipping but I will help with delivering it to the port. The easiest way is to put it inside a container and ship to the Los Angeles or San Francisco area (usually around $1000). In case the winning bid exceeds $17,500 I will cover the shipping costs to a port in continental U.S. or Japan.

This vehicle is sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have satisfied themselves as to the condition of the vehicle.

Please be sure you have the funding ready when bidding. I have a clean title. I want to thank you for viewing my auction and wish you good luck bidding. I truly hope this car finds a great new home. In a few years, it will become a classic worth a lot more....

Final Volkswagen Eos to leave the plant in May

Tue, Feb 24 2015

Volkswagen has made no secret of its plans to wind down production of the Eos hardtop convertible, and the automaker has already celebrated the model's retirement in the US with the Final Edition (pictured above). However, the company now has an actual time for that end to come. The final Eos rolls off the line from the VW factory in Portugal in May, according to Germany's Automobilwoche, and European customers have until March 27 to get any final orders in. The company has no plans to offer a successor, it previously indicated. After about nine years of production and some 230,000 made, the Eos proved to be a success, at least in its home market of Germany. A VW spokesperson told Automobilwoche it was the country's bestselling hardtop convertible at one point, but customer preferences have changed toward preferring soft-top models. That switch spelled doom for the Eos. Drivers who want some wind in their hair still have some choices in the VW lineup. The Beetle Convertible remains on sale in the US, and Europeans also get the droptop Golf.

VW Golf GTD wagon makes us swoon ahead of Geneva reveal

Thu, Jan 29 2015

The European market is just crammed with power wagons we can't get our hands on: big ones like the Audi RS6 Avant and Jaguar XFR-S Sportbrake, but also little ones like the new Mercedes CLA45 AMG Shooting Brake, Skoda Octavia RS and Seat Leon ST Cupra. Now there'll be one more, and as you might have guessed, it comes from the Volkswagen Group. At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, VW will present the new Golf GTD Variant. And if you're wondering what it's all about, it's all right there in the name: those three letters tell us it's a performance diesel, and the Variant name tells us it's a wagon (which we'd more readily recognize as the SportWagen on this side of the Atlantic). So there you have it: a performance-oriented diesel wagon, but not one we're never likely to see on American roads. If you ever did see one up close, though, you'd find a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four under the hood with 181 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque – enough to send this nimble oil tanker to 62 in 7.9 seconds, all the while returning over 53 miles per gallon (on the lenient European cycle, anyway). Along with the engine, VW has thrown in other GTD performance-minded bits, including a sports suspension and progressive steering. Visual telltales include unique front and rear bumpers, grilles, 17-inch alloys, blacked-out roof rails, smoked taillight lenses and an interior with plaid sports seats, stainless steel pedals... the works. European buyers will be able to enjoy all this and more while hauling all their stuff down the Autobahn, passing gas station after gas station in oil-burning bliss. World premiere of the new Golf GTD Variant - The perfect all-round package: sporty, economical, comfortable and spacious - Launch set for Geneva Motor Show Since 1982 Volkswagen's GTD logo has stood for Gran Turismo Diesel, with its promise of sporty yet economical motoring. Now for the first time, the GTD initials grace the Golf Variant, which like the Golf GTD, boasts the 184 PS (135 kW) TDI engine. The new Golf GTD Variant is set for its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, and is available to order as of now at a price of 31,975 euros. The Golf GTD Variant* is excellently placed to establish itself as an iconic long-distance cruiser.
